The Lathe of Heaven

Natsu Onoda Power adapting from the book by Ursula K. Le Guin

About the Play

Blessed – or cursed – with reality altering dreams, George Orr comes under the hand of a doctor eager to remake the world. Danger! Dreams won’t be trained. Plague sweeps the earth, volcanoes emerge, Aliens take over the moon. The world itself slides into meltdown. Leaping to save us, the dreamer is thrown into one final world. Cookware, Aliens, and lost love regained. Unexpectedly, strangely, balance prevails.
